that shall be but bare grain it may chance of wheat or of some other grain 37. The Corn which thou sowest hath not the Blade or Stalk and Ear and Flower and Chaff It is not formally but virtually or seminally the same whether it be Wheat or other Grain 38. But God giveth it a body as it hath pleased him and to every seed his own body 38. But out of this Seed and by its Seminal Vertue God by the addition of attracted Nutriment giveth it a Body with Straw Flowers Chaff and Seed as pleaseth him It being his Power and Will to which nothing is impossible which must satisfie our inquisitive Minds Resurrection as Generation being unsearchable to us 39. All flesh is not the same flesh but there is one kind of flesh of men another flesh of beasts another of fishes and another of birds 39. But you must allow a difference of Bodies for even here there is much difference 40. There are also celestial bodies and bodies terrestrial but the glory of the celestial is one and the glory of the terestrial is another 41. There is one glory of the sun and another glory of the moon and another glory of the stars for one star differeth from another star in glory 42. So also is the resurrection of the dead It is sown in corruption it is raised in incorruption 40 41 42. The Celestial Bodies greatly differ from the Earthly Bodies and so do even the Celestial among themselves as the Sun from the Moon and one Star from another c. And so shall our Bodies at the Resurrection greatly differ from these that we have now particularly by being incorruptible 43. It is sown in dishonour it is raised in glory it is sown in weakness it is raised in power 44. It is sown a natural body it is raised a spiritual body There is a natural body and there is a spiritual body 43 44. It is now so vile a Body that it must rot and corrupt in darkness in the Earth but it shall rise in Glory It is buried in utter impotency like the common Earth but Gods Power shall raise it a Powerful Body It is buried like the Body of a Beast that was passive and only acted by the living Soul but it shall rise a Spiritual Body more suited to the Nature of the Soul and having also an active Nature like as Fire hath in it self Thare are Natural Bodies of Passive Matter in daily flux repaired by Food and acted only by other Natures or Souls And there are Spiritual Bodies either such as the Sun and Light hath or higher which are incorruptible and of themselves not inclined to death dissolution or change and besides the Soul are so like it that they are themselves Active Natures 45. And so it is written The first man Adam was made a living soul the last Adam was made a quickning spirit 45. That is The first Adam was made by God a living Soul put into a corruptible Body not having an unchangeable State in himself nor Power to make his Posterity such But the second Adam had in himself unchangeable Life suited to a spiritual glorious State and was the Root of such to his Believing Posterity enabled as the Lord of Life to rise himself ascend to Heaven and to raise them to Life and take them to himself and to make them a spiritual holy People capable thereof 46. Howbeit that was not first which is spiritual but that which is natural and afterward that which is spiritual 46. But the Animal Person from whom by Generation we have but meer Nature was to us in causality before him that conveyeth to us Spiritual and Everlasting Life Our Nature derived from Adam was before the Reparation Spiritual Holiness Resurrection or Glory given by Christ even as Adam was before Christs own Incarnation and Resurrection Perfection is the last and ripe State of Gods Work in our Salvation 47. The first man is of the earth earthy the second man is the Lord from heaven 47. Adam was made out of the Dust of the Passive Elements though God breathed into him a Living Soul yet Earth was his first abode But Christ is the Lord from Heaven his Divine Nature being there from everlasting assumed the Humane by the overshadowing of the Holy Ghost 48. As is the earthy such are they also that are earthy and as is the heavenly such are they also that are heavenly 48. And as Adam was a Natural Man and the Root of such so it is but Nature which we have from him And as Christ is Heavenly and Spiritual so will he make all the holy Seed to be like him Spiritual and Heavenly 49. And as we have born the image of the earthy we shall also bear the image of the heavenly 49. And as we are born of Adam Men as he was so we shall be made by Christ Spiritual and Heavenly as he is 50. Now this I say brethren that flesh and blood cannot inherit the Kingdom of God neither doth corruption inherit incorruption 50. And this I tell you That these Bodies must not come to Heaven in the proper Form of Flesh and Blood nor can as such possess it for as such they are corruptible and cannot so inherit Heaven which is incorruptible 51. Behold I shew you a mystery We shall not all sleep but we shall all be changed 51. And I will tell you that which is commonly unknown Though the Just shall not die that are alive at Christs coming they shall all be changed as well as those that rise from the Dead from being proper Flesh and Blood to have Spiritual Bodies 52. In a moment in the twinkling of an eye at the last trump for the trumpet shall sound and the dead shall be raised incorruptible and we shall be changed 52. In a moment Christs potent Call will be like a Trumpet calling Men together and the Dead shall be raised and living Saints changed into an incorruptible state 53. For this corruptible must put on incorruption and this mortal must put on immortality 53. For this mortal Body and Composition which is now corruptible by Dissolution must be changed into an incorruptible and immortal state of Being and Habitation 54. So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption and this mortal shall have put on immortality then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written Death is swallowed up in victory 54. And Death being conquered by Christ being a Fruit of Sin from which he saveth us we shall die no more 55. O death where is thy sting O grave where is thy victory 56. The sting of death is sin and the strength of sin is the law 55. Though now Death seem to conquer us we triumph over it by Faith in Christ foreseeing our Resurrection being saved from Sin which is the Sting and the Penal Law or Curse which is Sins condemning Strength 57. But thanks be to God which giveth us the victory through our

of Blasphemy 4. He is adored 5. He only healeth the wounded head 6. He is contemporary with the ten Kings with crowned horns 7. He is contemporary with Babylon which is Papal Rome 8. All the Texts agree to Papal Rome 9. He is Antichrist who is to sit in the Temple of God 10. That which hindred was to be removed before his Revelation which was the Empire as Pagan II. And they say it cannot be the Pagan Empire 1. Because that was risen long before 2. Because it was not that Power which was the sixth head but the seventh and eight and ascended out of the bottomless pit with whom the ten Kings were to receive Kingdoms 3. Because the Pagan Empire was not contemporary with Babylon 4. This Beast was to continue 1260 years whereas the Pagan Empire continued but 360. 5. It had not the ten crowned horns 6. The Roman Pagan Empire was lawfully obeyed being of God but so is not the Beast 7. The things said Chap. 19. agree not with it And here the sixth doubt is coincident what is the Whore For if it be only Papal Rome then say they the Pope is the Beast And this they prove 1. Because it is a mystery which Heathen Idolatry was not 2. Antichrist sits in the Temple of God 3. Because it is that Rome that must be for ever desolate and a place for Devils and Serpents c. 4. The fall of Babylon was to be after the faithful were come out of it 5. Pagan Rome sold not Souls nor made the Nations drunk with the Cup of her Fornication 6. She was not married to Christ and therefore could be no adultress 7. She had no false Prophet as here described to seduce and work Miracles but did all by force c. II. But because it is an advantage to the Reader to know the Judgment of men in the Connexion of the parts and Mr. Brightman seemeth to have done his Work with as Pious a Zeal and as great Learning and deep study as any man I shall sum up his opinion about this matter Having on Daniel strongly proved after Calvin that the passages commonly expounded of Antiochus are mistaken he saith that it is the Romans Power that they mean who were above all called Gods that is all Princes and that the Abomination not making but made Desolate was the utterly casting out the old Jewish Temple-Worship which was good till abrogate and Abominable afterward That this was done by the destruction of the Temple but perfected in Julians time by Gods overthrowing it when he attempted to re-edifie it And on Rev. 13. And forward he saith 1. That Antichrist the Pope is both the first and second Beast and Latinos his name c. 2. That the first 1000 years began with Constantine who was the Man-child and bound the Dragon 3. The binding him is that he shall no more set up Heathenism 4. But Antichrist began at the same time and reigned al● the while that the Dragon was bound even from Constantine And the Church was in the Wildernes● 5. The first Resurrection began 1300 when Marsil Patavinus Wickliff and others began Reformation But I am perswaded that those after called Albigenses and before Bagandoe were before Constantine Reynerius confesseth that they called themselves Apostolicks and said they were from Silvesters that is Constantines time Why then is Wickliff who hath many errors set above them 6. The rest of the Dead in Popery rose not by Reformation 7. The second death is Hell fire 8. A second 1000 years of Church Reformation and Prosperity began then at 1300 when the Dragon was let loose Antichrist began at his binding and the happy 1000 years Reformation at his loosing 9. His loosing set up the Turk Gog and Magog Scythians to a War against the Saints 10. The Camp of the Saints was Europe 11. The Holy City was the Converted Jews and the place of the War in Judea where the Turks shall wonderfully be utterly destroyed by Michael the Angel of the Jews 12. The Beast that deceived the Turk is the Turk himself 13. The Beast and false Prophet in Hell with him is Antichrist who falls a little before him 14. The Judgment and second Resurrection Chap. 20.11 are the full restoring of the Jews 15. The Dead small and great judged are the Jews that till now rejected Christ 16. The Sea and Earth giving up their Dead are all Countrys sending home the Jews converted 17. Death and Hell cast into the Lake are Turks and Papist that shall detain the Jews no longer 18. The Thrones and Reign of those dead is the destruction of their Enemies on Earth 19. Only elect Jews shall be in that Church 20. What the first Heaven and Earth is that shall be done away he doth not know but thinks it is the old Jewish way of Worship which shall cease as their conversion 21. No more Sea is no more false Doctrine 22. No more Death is no more sharp punishment and that the sting of death shall be taken out 23. And the new Glorious Jerusalem described in the 21. and 22. Chapters in this City or Church of the Converted Jews at Jerusalem the rest being restored with them Why I incline to Learned Mr. Calverts opnion that the conversion of the Jews is long ago past the obstinate Jews being mostly destroyed by Titus and Adrian and the Christian Jews being very numerous quickly and all that stayed in Judea as much made the Kingdom of Christ by Profession in the days of Cyril Juvenal and after when their Country was replenished with Bishops Churches and Monasteries and many abroad since then Converted as Lira Tremellius and others were as other Christian Kingdoms were where some still are Infidels I have shewed on Rom. 11. But the most wonderful part of the expected Miracle is that all these Thousands if not Millions of Jews that live scattered through the World and now are the most vile and Barbarous ignorant and worldly Persons living among Turks and Papists where they hear not the Gospel should all without Preaching or Teaching be not only Converted at once but made such Wise and excellent Christians as are fitter to constitute a Glorious Church than we that have bin taught so long If God have promised that not only a Nation but a New Jerusalem should be thus born or come down from Heaven in a day it must be believed But doubtless it will be a Miracle incomparably excelling all that Christ and his Apostles did yea Millions of Miracles at once And therefore we may expect such proof as faith needeth in so strange a case And as God is no respecter of Persons so the Jews never proved since Abrahams days under the Law under Judges or Kings or since so wise or excellent a People as may prognosticate such Advancement And God useth to work by means Christ and his Apostles converted none without the Word And Paul saith how shall they believe on him of whom they have not
